<h3>Description</h3>
<tt>Greater_equal&lt;T&gt;</tt> is a <A href="functors.html">function object</A>.  Specifically, it is an 
<A href="AdaptableBinaryPredicate.html">Adaptable Binary Predicate</A>, which means it is a function 
object that tests the truth or falsehood of some condition.
If <tt>f</tt> is an object of class
<tt>greater_equal&lt;T&gt;</tt> and <tt>x</tt> and <tt>y</tt> are objects of class <tt>T</tt>, then
<tt>f(x,y)</tt> returns <tt>true</tt> if <tt>x &gt;= y</tt> and <tt>false</tt> otherwise.
<h3>Example</h3>
Find the first nonnegative element in a list.
<pre>
<A href="List.html">list</A>&lt;int&gt; L;
...
<A href="List.html">list</A>&lt;int&gt;::iterator first_nonnegative =

assert(first_nonnegative == L.end() || *first_nonnegative &gt;= 0);
